Are your kitchen cabinets looking outdated or scratched? Have you attempted a DIY paint job only to be disappointed by the outcome? No matter the reason, N-Hance Wood Refinishing of Central Nassau County can help you repaint your kitchen cabinets. We can transform dull, worn out, or unfashionable cabinets into a refreshed and stylish look that you’ll love. We can even fix mistakes made during DIY paint jobs, such as brush strokes, drip marks, and other imperfections.
Homeowners commonly seek our expertise for the following issues:
Problem #1: Leaving the Doors On
You might think leaving the doors attached while painting your cabinets is more convenient, but it often leads to a messy and flawed finish. It can be difficult to navigate around the hinges, which can result in sloppy work. Additionally, this method can lead to drip marks and other imperfections.
However, with N-Hance cabinet painting in Nassau County, you don’t have to worry about these issues. We carefully remove the drawer fronts and cabinet doors and bring them back to our shop to ensure a smooth, factory-like finish. This meticulous process eliminates the risk of careless errors, delivering a professional outcome effortlessly.
Problem #2: Not Taking Time to Adequately Prep
Proper preparation is crucial when repainting kitchen cabinets. Without professional prep work, you risk the final look and longevity of your cabinets, leading to quick chipping and peeling. Furthermore, any existing scratches or damage may become even more pronounced once repainted.
At N-Hance, we take care to ensure thorough and proper preparation. We start by thoroughly cleaning your cabinets with a proprietary solution designed to remove grease, grime, and build-up. This will create a pristine surface ready for the new finish to be applied. In addition, we will repair any damaged areas and prime your cabinets with a product specifically formulated for use on cabinets. The paint we use will adhere better to the primed cabinets, preventing stains and bleed-through.
Problem #3: Applying a Thick Layer of Paint
Applying a single, thick coat of paint to your cabinets may seem like a shortcut, but it actually leaves your cabinets more susceptible to scratches, peeling, and other damage. The most effective method is to apply several thin layers of paint, ensuring a durable surface that can withstand daily use.
We use paint specifically designed for use on cabinets, at N-Hance. The paint is designed to withstand heavy-duty use and routine cleaning, while still maintaining a great appearance. Once you’ve chosen a color, our skilled cabinet painters will expertly apply it to your cabinets, providing an even coat and a flawless, long-lasting finish.
Problem #4: Not Letting Cabinets Dry Long Enough
DIY kitchen cabinet repainting can be a time-consuming process, with waiting required between each coat of paint and before you can reinstall everything. In addition, the final curing process can also take several weeks for optimal results. If you rush any of these steps, you risk damaging your cabinets through smudges, chips, and other signs of wear.
With N-Hance, we use a proprietary system called Lightspeed® to cure your cabinets instantly with UV light. After repainting, we apply a clear topcoat and cure it in seconds. This innovation significantly reduces downtime, resulting in a more durable and long-lasting finish, allowing you to enjoy your refreshed kitchen sooner.
Problem #5: The Wrong Color
If the current color of your cabinets doesn’t appeal to you, or they’ve fallen out of style, N-Hance is here to assist. We offer a selection of 12 popular and proven colors to choose from. If you have a specific shade in mind, you can bring in a color sample and we’ll match it. This ensures you get the precise aesthetic you envision for your space.
It’s important to note that repainting your kitchen cabinets will not address structural problems. For example, if your cabinets are warping, painting will not reverse the effect. It may hide the issue for a while, but eventually you will need cabinet door replacement. In these rare cases, it’s often more cost-effective to save up for a full replacement, so you can get cabinets that look great and will last for many years.
